Internet Safety Training

Technovation is committed to helping our participants use technology safely and responsibly.

We aim to provide a safe sandbox where students can experiment and build their resilience and perseverance. We also want students to become responsible digital citizens as they innovate and interact with others in an online world.

We have partnered with Common Sense Education to provide internet safety training and improve digital literacy among our users. The safety and development of youth at Technovation relies on our ecosystem of staff, parents, educators, mentors, and students. We invite you to help us maintain a safe and responsible learning environment.

Thank you for joining us in making our online programs safer.
